- "Wormholes is one of the two short films (the other being The Green Beret, which is found on RUclips) created and produced by Spongebob Squarepants creator Stephen Hillenburg at CalArts in 1992. Aside from it and The Green Beret having been exhibited internationally in such festivals as Annecy, Hiroshima, Ottawa, Oberhausen and the Los Angeles Animation Celebration, Wormholes has not surfaced online in any form." - From the Lost Media Wiki
Stay crunchy.
P.S. jonni phillips PLEASE dm me 💐
I don't get it
I think it’s about life through the eyes of the fly, all the alphabetic numerals and formulas were the thoughts of the fly and his comprehension, and maybe when the cow shits it’s the formula for Co2 or whatever else is in cow shit
Me either. He said it was about the theory of relativity.
I don't know if there's much to get but there are several mentions to relativity, the formulas you see are part of them. Relativity states (among other things) that the passage of time and measure of space we perceive is different depending on our velocity, the faster you move the "slower" time moves for you and space appears compressed in the direction of travel (of course we don't experience this in our daily lives since you'd have to be moving at velocities close to that of the speed of light). You can see that compression illustrated in the cows for example
Think Einstein, then you will get it!!
Sometimes we don't have to look for the meaning in everything.
The inner machinations of my mind are an enigma.
Probably the most appropriate use of that quote I have read.
-Patrick Star
Woah
*thought bubble of a box of milk spilling*
YES! 👏👀
Part of this is definitely inspiration behind the episode where spongebob gets off at the wrong bus stop
@@londonjackson8986 yeah I mean. The dude with one eye looking out the small window.
Weird creatures just residing.
I can see it.
"rock bottom" yes, strong rock bottom vibes
Being that it’s the flies perspective on the outside Foreign world? Like how sponge bob reacts to being in an entirely different setting
Yeah! The episode is called, 'Rock Bottom'! XD
Only Rock Bottom is way less trippier compared to this.
For those of you who don’t understand this video Stephen Hillenburge was representing Albert Einstein’s famous theory. The theory of relativity. This short film was what got Hillenburge noticed by Joe murray who was the creator of rocko’s modern life.
Huh interesting
Hillenburg* but thanks for sharing this information!
It was also a comic Hillenburg made while working at the Ocean Institute of California that inspired him to create Spongebob
Oh now I get it
And the rest is history.
I noticed that some of the buildings are almost identical to the ones seen in spongebob.
Yes it is!!! The buildings's shape and form from this short and "the green beret" influenced the houses and buildings in spongebob.
yup, saw that too
Nickelodeon: (sees this)
... “Stephen, you’re hired”
No, it was Joe Murray who saw this and hired him. Nickelodeon didn't have much to do with Rocko, it was fairly hands-off.
@@nolimit6377 Haha yeah, isn't that crazy though? Even from the couple of shorts Stephen put out you can tell there's a lot of talent and smarts behind it. I'm happy Murray saw that, too.
When you realize Nickelodeon is as greedy as mr krabs and didn’t care about Stephen dying
@@d4isyy_lowzz Or it could’ve just been bad timing of the announcement of the reboots.
@@nolimit6377So what you’re saying is that this short is indirectly the reason SpongeBob happened.
It's a real treat to be able to see this rare footage. Thank you so much!
Fancy seeing you here dood
OCEAN MAN TAKE ME BY THE HAND TO THE LAND THAT YOU UNDERSTAND
A well-regarded scientist who really just wanted to make art. There's a good lesson to be learned here about dreams, sometimes the best path isn't the most conventional one. If he hadn't taken the physics classes he did in college and had gone directly into art, he likely never would've produced the masterpiece that would eventually win him his most well-remembered and profitable accomplishment.
Snfy
What the hell are you on about? His background is in marine biology.
That's some great hand-drawn animation.
@urandeit tet nah - some of the zooms, perspectives and detail show growing skills to me
@@londonjackson8986 Its pretty great considering he only used paper and pen
Wish we would've seen more stuff like this from him.
@@londonjackson8986 I and many others were aware he made these well before his death, and I think it's great that Stephen's early work is finally being appreciated by the general public and is available to everyone.
@@londonjackson8986 London Jackson I didn't say Spongebob fans in particular, but fans of obscure or experimental animations were aware of this short. Regardless, like I said, that doesn't matter now, as Stephen's early work is now available for everyone to watch.
@@londonjackson8986 A death always brings more attention to someone's work. That's just sadly how it works out.
London Jackson Except that Green beret vid didn’t have the intro or credits
This is literally an episode from Spongebob, look up Rock Bottom
I feel like I'm gonna die in 7 days.
oh you will.
you dead yet?
rip
Lmao
Rest in rip
The equations that keep coming up are the ones that describe relativistic time dilation and length contraction, two phenomenon that are shown taking place here.
really? that’s rad my dude, i didn’t even know that
thats so cool
I guess it makes sense, he was a scientist after all
3:05 I see the classic "Bottomite" Spongebob houses (tall cylindrical metal structures). I also see clouds made into shapes, which Hillenberg later uses in Spongebob with the flower clouds.
For a CalArts animaton project back in the 90s' this looks great especially when it's coming from the creator of SpongeBob SquarePants! R.I.P Stephen Hillenburg 1961-2018 We will always miss you down here in the deep blue sea
This is beautiful, I already loved spongebob for being the intelligent, funny, and accessible show that it was, but wow, hillenburg was a true artist, I wish he would've made more like this
5:38 gives me serious flashbacks of the Nowhere scene from SB-129. I love how this and Green Beret feel very much like prototypes of SpongeBob's one of a kind sense of humor.
Beautiful comment.
Anyone can be an artists, especially Stephen Hillenburg who was a marine biologist before creating SpongeBob. This film is basically Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity.
Love it. This is the beauty of animation. The ability to let your imagination run wild and play with reality. It may be impossible to interpret but there is creative genius in this. Steve obviously upped his storytelling game with SpingeBob but there is a certain reckless abandon in all of his work which is what makes it special.
This could've easily been a music video for The Residents.
Xylem1 I approve of your pfp
Or Tool.
This short reminds me of the animations done by Don Hertzfeldt and Bill Plympton.
But with we live in grass mixed with in
Holy shit I love Don hertzfeldt
As crazy as SpongeBob is, I was not expecting Hillenburg’s early work to be so trippy.
I mean…. Dude listened to ween,
It just blows me away how this wasn’t found earlier.
The way he stitched together all of the footage at the end to illustrate the flies life starting over, blew my mind.....Now it makes sense why Spongebob was so creative
I love this! Animation is so smooth and satisfying to look at! Steven Hillenburg was one of the kings of animation, right up there with Hanna Barbera, Tex Avery, and Chuck Jones, just to name a few! RIP Stephen! 🙏🏼
3:54 It's Squidward!
No it isn't.
@@noboom7385 It is
Maybe an early prototype
Looks more like the inspiration for the Rock Bottom bus station teller
This looks like an mtv bumper
I love this so much and Stephen Hillenburg will always be remembered
Nearly did a double take when I saw this. Holy crap! I've been looking for this for ages!! So happy that it's finally been found!!!
I'm convinced Stephen Hillenburg had knowledge of some Eldrich truth and managed to escape with his sanity, and that this was his way of conveying that Eldrich truth
R.I.P., Stephen Hillenburg.
i don't know if there is any meaning to this, but to me it honestly feels like a parody of the endless monotony of a roadtrip through middle america. especially with the repeating parts and the focus on the passage of time. have no clue what the fuck the math is about though lmao
As Shawn Hayes mentioned above, the maths shown relates to relativistic phenomena, especially length contraction and time dilation which are both shown in the film. These effects would be noticed when traveling at really high speeds like the driver.
So this is End of Evangelion everyone's been talking about huh
hey i've been looking at comments on this for a whole two years now and i just want to tell you yours is my favorite from all that time. ty
My dream is to be an animator on nick to make Stephen hillenburg proud
Keep pushing and it'll come sooner than you think.
thanks for dredging up the college work of this famous man. and RIP stephen hillenburg
it's been 1 year since Stephen Hillenburg died:(
Its 3 years without him :(
That was amazing Stephen, Rest in peace!
Steve sure had an.... interesting mind.
For working on Rocko's Modern Life and being a Marine biologist, he did have a interesting mind.
@Lil Toker because that was the truth. Before he made his own show, he taught marine biology and worked on Rocko's Modern Life. Maybe combining the two got him some ideas to make SpongeBob as success. I bet that was where he met Tom Kenny because he played Heffer on Rocko's Modern Life before SpongeBob.
And did you know Chris Savino also worked on Rocko before he made The Loud House?
It's about time dilation, relativity and physics.
R.I.P Stephen Hillenburg
Wow thank you Rachel and Mr. Jacques for this unique short film animation
R.I.P 😢
Wow!!!! With The Green Beret, I knew what that story was obvious trying to be, it was a nice joke, and it had notable similarities to SpongeBob. But, I have no idea what Hillenburg thinking when creating this short, and that's no to say it's bad, just a what's the hell going, on short!

Thank you for uploading this.
It’s fascinating looking at other outlets that delve into Steve’s thoughts/ideals rather than the subtle ones we only have on Spongebob.
Despite how wild this is, it kinda portrays the monotony of life pretty well, even though that's probably not what it was going for at all.
Hey, I’d give the man some credit. He made the protagonist of his cartoon a fry cook for a reason.
Great stuff, Hillenburg was part of the experimental animation program in CalArts at the time. Another alumni from that program includes Henry Selick, the director of Coraline and The Nightmare Before Christmas. The inspirations from Fantastic Planet (a major inspiration for Pikmin btw!) are pretty neat to see here, would definitely recommend anyone find a way to see it if they can.
I've watched this 3 or 4 times in my life. The first being when I was around 18, the second and third in my early and mid 20's and now today at 29. For the first time this BLEW my fucking mind. Incredible visual depiction of relativity. The way he plays with time in this is absurd.
Watching this feels like I'm having a manic psychedelic meltdown lol. I agree with everybody on the Rock Bottom vibes. The unique building designs here also resemble many of the homes in downtown Bikini Bottom as well.
Hey Richard Williams, I think you've got competition!
it's about the chaos and entropy of life
You have just entered...the intertidal zone!
This is a great find, thanks for uploading this.
This feels so trippy.
Who recognized the squid wars lookalike?? This is crazy to see the beginning of what SpongeBob is and what started such a beautiful masterpiece.
ngl I don’t understand the meaning behind this but the visuals alone are cool as hell.
That's what I've been trying to figure out
Doing DMT, driving through a town in a place you've never been
lol idk

Goodbye Stephen Hillenburg
Really amazingly animated considering it was made with just a pencil
Do NOT, I repeat DO NOT watch this on shrooms.
If you do watch at your own risk
The start of a legend
fun fact: this video syncs surprisingly well with "paranoid android" by radiohead. put this on in one tab and paranoid android on in another to get the definitive way to experience this
Thank you, from the bottom of my hearth.
Tu é gay, mano?
My fav episodes in spongebob were the surreal ones. I love this shit
Yeah me too
This video blows my mind. 🤯 Hillenburg sure was creative!
THe sound design is unbelievable.
Aw hell nah spunch bob took 40 benadryls
The guy looking out the window gives me Kaz vibes. That’s probably why Hillenburg picked him to be a storyboard artist in several episodes
Spongebob lore right there.
Absolute art, rip stephen
Before This Clip: Ooh, so this was the clip that got Steven the job, let's watch
After: What. Did. I. Just. Watch?
(Something that Nickelodeon at the time would have accepted)
1:09 peep that thicq jelly
All legends have to start somewhere.
For many years I was trying to find this! Thank you!
3:21 Running in the 90s be like:
there is a lot of meaning in this
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS!!!
man, this is like the prototype of rocko and spongebob together because i see very things that reminds me to the rocko's modern life and spongebob squarepants.
Before SpongeBob
There Was Wormholes
Rachel, you hero!
2:39 this reminds me of that episode where spongebob had to work the night shift lol.
Holy crap this is impressive
You sir, are the king of the internet.
Hi Squidward
Wonder what his adult swim show would've looked like if he ever ventured toward this type of animation.
The internet really is amazing, isn't it? Thank you Nick!
R.I.P
Stephen Hillenburg
:(
Ok now when i get a laptop for my 18th birthday I'm making some films but i want to make them funny. This dude was really good. He's still my favorite celebrity
Amazing job uploading this for everyone to see!
This is so cool
The other side of Rock bottom Spongebob Didn’t see
Thank you for uploading!!
My brain tingles.
Masterpiece
This guys really knew something
He did a really good job this these shorts
*I'M READY!!!*
This feels like the ending of Evangelion
2:18 Squidward prototype
Before SpongeBob was made
The early sketches by Stephen reminds me a lot of Bill Plympton's creations.
This is just amazing!
Does your teacher have a higher quality version of Stephen Hillenberg's other short film Green Beret ?
+Karson Gameboy Here you go, this is a high quality version of The Green Beret

London Jackson Wow thanks!
London Jackson I love that. I also really like how 2 houses in this are the kind seen throughout the Bikini Bottom. I think in the episode Reef Blowers when SpongeBob sucks up all of the water, the colors of the background and the sparse landscape resemble the world in Wormholes.
@@londonjackson8986 The scout girls dont look alike tbh
